Applesauce and Candles

Monday, Mom came down and we made some applesauce. We didn't actually have that many apples, so we only got 8 pints, but it was good for the first time. Maybe I'll be able to get some more apples and make some more. We made it with the peel still on, so its a rosy color. Jabin really likes it, especially cold. I think it soothes his sore gums. He's got 4 teeth coming in on the top all at once, poor little guy. After we made applesauce we made some candles. Mom made some holly and ivy candles then I made some red apple peel. I'm hoping to be able to start selling them soon. I made some for gifts, but also a few that I am going to try to sell at Victory Village Shoppe. I am hoping to start a little business selling soap, candles, and other homemade gifts. Lestie is helping me. She's made a tie-blanket, and she's cross-stitching something that she may sell. I hope everything works out. I'm still trying to decide on a name for the business. I have some ideas but I haven't found the perfect one yet.

Monday night, La Christa came down and spent the night. It was nice seeing her again.
Today I am hoping to maybe make some candles in baby food jars. I am thinking some people would like the smallness of them. I guess I will find out when they start selling. I'm going to have to get more glue dots and warning stickers though, because I'm going to be out real soon.

 Remember the reason for the season this year. Jesus Christ came down as a small babe, born in a humble manger, so that he could save every man, woman, boy and girl, whether rich or poor, from their sin so that one day we could live forever with Him in heaven. Praise the Lord for that gift!
